7:45 UPDATES

The tidbits from the early exit polls seem good for Jones — but early exits often overstate turnout among Dem-leaning groups. https://t.co/8UNMbwM1tG

25% turnout in Alabama. Hope I’m wrong, but I’d guess that favours the GOP. No doubt a lot of abstention, but it also suggests the huge Dem super-PAC funded operation didn’t work at raising turnout. As, how could it? It was an awful campaign.https://t.co/20WzJ4aV8m

JUST IN: Senate Republicans have been told they will meet tomorrow morning as a conference to discuss next steps if Roy Moore wins tonight. The meeting is currently scheduled for 10am in the Capitol, but timing could shift – NBC News

With about 700 votes in so far, CNN has the race at 63.8 percent to 35.9 percent for Jones over Moore. A fewer than 200 vote difference that probably only counts a portion of absentee ballots from a single precinct.

. @DecisionDeskHQ has 15 precincts reporting in Lee County – Jones is overperforming Moore's Democratic opponent in 2012 (who lost by 3.66 points) by an average of 11.40 points there. #ALSen#alpolitics
